Jenny’s story is an inspiration to all would be writers:
Suffering from terminal boredom she thought she’d try her hand at writing. She sent off her first three chapters to a small literary agency, picked at random from the ‘Writers and Artists Yearbook’ from whom she received a short rejection letter. Unperturbed, she took voluntary redundancy giving three months notice, and set out once again to sell her novel. Not long after she received a note from a prestigious agency, expressing an interest in the rest of the text, which in fact did not yet exist. This was a welcome incentive for Jenny to finish the book. With unbelievable speed a huge auction involving eight publishers followed with HarperCollins managing to close the deal. For a twenty something former NHS Trust worker, this was clearly the stuff that dreams are made of.
Jenny is the author of numerous bestselling, award-winning novels and film and TV options have been sold for her writing.
Jenny is married with children and lives in Scotland. For more about Jenny, visit her website and her Facebook page, or follow her on Twitter: @jennycolgan
